The folks over at the Thought Catalog blog have a list some Seattleites might be interested in reading: 23 things you should know about Seattle.

Just as with most “you should know” lists, this one is entirely arbitrary. It contains items such as, “If you’re in your 20s, you should spend most of your time in Capitol Hill.” Or, “The Space Needle is pretty much dumb and upper-Belltown is just as boring.”

Take a look at the list. If you don’t like it, Thought Catalog contributor NAME has a few choice words for you with No. 23.

23. People will get mad at you if you write a list about Seattle that doesn’t specifically include their views on Seattle. In the comments section, they will show absolutely no humor and get butthurt because you “forgot” something (you didn’t forget something — your list isn’t all-inclusive) or they live in one of the neighborhoods that you took a playful jab at or they live in Seattle and they’ve “never thought any of this before.” You’ll see these people in hell. Hopefully when you meet up with them, they’ll have learned not to attach so much of their inferiority complexes to the city in which they reside and will have been disallowed from commenting on the internet ever again. (Ha!)

Let’s hear it. What things do you think people should know about Seattle?
